This year, Yellowstone, which is the most-watched cable TV show, got its first Golden Globe nomination, but its star actor won’t be there to accept the award if he wins.
Kevin Costner has been nominated for 7 Golden Globes, and he won for Hatfields & McCoys and Dances with Wolves. Still, the nomination for his role as John Dutton in Yellowstone made the actor feel very emotional. He and his wife, Christine Baumgartner, were going to go to the awards show. But he couldn’t make the trip because of the terrible flooding in California. CNN says that more than 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes because of the historic flooding.
Kevin posted a message on Instagram telling his fans what was going on. He said, “Hello, everyone! I’m so sorry to anyone who was planning to watch the Golden Globes. Chris and I will not be able to make it. Yesterday, we had to take the kids in Santa Barbara out of school. The roads are flooded for the second time in 5 years… Since the motorways were closed, we couldn’t get back home. We are the most upset that we can’t go to the Golden Globes.
“Chris wore a stunning gown, and I eagerly anticipated walking the red carpet with her, the Yellowstone community, my co-stars, and directors…
“I’m really sorry I can’t be there. I wanted to do it, and I know how much Chris wanted to help me. She went out and bought me gold, yellow, black, and silver balloons, so we’re going to watch TV and see what happens. But I really appreciate your help and I’m sorry to the Golden Globes and the International Press.”
The Golden Globes will be shown on NBC on January 10 at 8 p.m. EST. Watch the event live on Peacock.
